About the timeline

It is really intriguing about the origins of the basic civilization features present today that we really do take
for granted, as they are such common part of our lives. Our world has change a lot because of the impact
that first civilization had on our world. This includes the types medical remedies that we have nowadays
derived from Mesopotamia’s herbal medicines, as well as the ways and purposes for which writing is
recorded such as literature. This all played a role in shaping modern society. Although the inventions
created by the civilizations have been altered drastically over time due to the advancement of technology
and explorations of new ideas, none of this would have been present today if it wasn’t for people taking the
greatest step in history by discovering the basic ideas and settling down to obtain a sedentary lifestyle.
All the Ancient Civilization of Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, India, Greece and Rome impacted to what we
have right now because of their contribution that flourished from their time until the present just how these
civilizations use to have on the world and what production took place for the first civilization to develop. It
was very interesting as I had never really thought back that long ago, as to what the world was like with less
advanced technology.
